Well, another date clash!
Anyone not fancying Scarborough can nip along to Hoghton Tower (twixt Preston and Blackburn) and witness myself and The Famous Mr. Led proceeding up the hill, at speeds approaching (or at least up to!) 100MPH!

Gold cup on early this year.

Anybody going for look?

I'll likely be going for a day, I'll pick the better weather day nearer the time and pay on the gate.

Not sure who's riding but I've heard Mike Browne there on an r6. I know nothing else and i cannot find a advert of who's riding.

Deano was a regular, Lee johnson has a good history there too, Rob Hodson like scarby too. But, I'm not sure if they will be there.

Earlier on today I had a message that the website was being targeted by scammers and was trying to get personal details ie bank details and other personal information did anyone else have the same problem

Well, mgp2024 is done and dusted.

I'm still on the island but return Wednesday. I've enjoyed the visit but (obviously) disappointed with the weather as it's kicked the event in the goolies.

I watched practice from bray hill and ramsey. Race days from Morown chapel and the top of bray hill.

Nobody is going to pretend it's been a vintage mgp but it were great to see some kind of racing on Monday, albeit dramatically shortened.

It's not been a total dead loss, we've had nice afternoons but showery evenings (Monday, Wednesday, Sunday all poor, all day though) which threw a spanner in the plans to run qualifying.

I'm glad i were here, I'll be glad to get home and I'll be glad to return next year.

What's your thoughts on this year's manx?

Should be all the races crammed into one day today but that's looking doubtful.

At the time of writing, there's the first delay of one hour. Further announcement at 9:30, I'm fully expecting a further delay. I'm not even heading off yet, no point sitting in the cold rain. I were gonna head to morown but maybe re think that and stick to a place i can escape from.

Rain for most of the morning, not forecast to brighten up until nearer lunchtime.

Rain forecast for this evening too.

Fingers crossed we see something but that's not guaranteed by any means. If it doesn't dry up, this could be the mgp that never was.

Just had a look at the schedule for Monday all races reduced but 1 lap for the junior classics whats that about its a very expensive 1 lap it might put a few off from coming next year .

When the Manannan was cancelled early Thursday morning I took a chance and called to receive a full refund for myself and motorcycle. I have booked a weekend at Oliver's Mount in September. Glad I did as I saved over £500.00 with digs and spends. Anyone else?

One hour's delay on roads closure

We’re (hopefully) heading for the MGP races but, due to the dire Irish Sea weather, we've had two crossings from Liverpool cancelled. We’re now booked on the Manxman at 02:15 tomorrow (Saturday) out of Heysham. Because our previous crossings have been cancelled we’ve also lost our bookings in the Niarbyl lounge, as the lounge was full when we rebooked. Therefore I'd really appreciate advice on where else we should look for seating as comfortable as possible under the circumstances. I have travelled on the Manxman once before and sat in the Niarbyl lounge so I don’t really know the layout of the vessel. All sensible advice is welcomed.
